Maybe this is a stupid question, and if so I apologize. Did the thunderbird TC have a 2.3T or is it a V6?

Yes, H.S. Thompson is awesome....it's a shame he killed himself. 88, are you sure? I heard 90, i heard 100....I really don't want to admit to 88 Horsepower.

So how much would a turbo swap cost me including switching and A4LD to a T-5? I don't have the knowledge or equipment to swap an entire engine by myself so how much would labor cost?

Yeah I guess....but I honestly don't mind spending time on the car....for the sake of education. Yeah, a turbo swap is considerable....it's actually very considerable....but we'll see what happens in the future.

How many horsepower did an 88 2.3 N/A come with stock?

I emptied out my Cats today....I love it even more than before....and no one will look at my car the same with the loudness and the 275's in the rear.

seriosly...everyone says that Turbo swaps cost 200 to 300 upfront....i find it hard to believe that it would be sooo cheap...can someone give me real numbers from their experiences with a turbo swap?

I bought mine for 100 bucks with over 100000 miles on it and i beat the living snot out of it everyday that i drive it....and it still runs as hard as ever. little things here and there go out, but nothing major. so far ive changed the thermostat, fuel relay...and i think those are the only...

No, his engine isn't Si. But what about the Prelude?....this guy was pushing it to it's limit, honestly....I took him my two cars to 45 and he hadn't even began to gain on me by that point...and my transmission slips. Well, I am still determined to make my little N/A quick....maybe not...

see thats what i figured but these guys are positive that the civic wouldnt take me...this civic has taken a couple of 5.0's a 99 camaro RS, a 4.6 mustang, a turbo jetta, the list goes on....its a sick little four door....but these guys at work swear to god that my car would be more responsive...

I finally got my flowmaster on my car. I'm very pleased. I still only have 2 inch piping the stock exhaust manifold and both cats on it...but I'll probably empty out the cats this weekend and a longtube header will be in the near future. When i do the header I'll switch to 2 and a half inch...

From my experiences... ford dealerships only carry parts for a matter of 5 to 10 years and then they dont manufacture them anymore. After that it is either refurbished or from a brand other than ford.

I'm interested in Port and Polish on my Head as well, can anyone give me instructions on this?

what about a cherry bomb? any idea what that would sound like?

I've heard good things about 2.3 N/A's with ranger headers and flowmaster muffllers...I'm interested in doing it to mine but I'm curious exactly how it will sound, does anyone maybe have a sound clip?

I say just check the vacuum lines. I had a cracked vacuum line that was causing me to get less than 10 miles the gallon. It was like I was driving a big block....but with no power.

please someone help me....no one ever seems to respond to my threads....am I that much of a loser?

I have 275's on the rear of mine too. They rubbed really bad when I first tried them out. Ate them up really nasty even creeping around corners. I just went to auto zone and bought the spacers that were like 7 bucks a pair and snapped them into place in my springs. Quick cheap, and easy. Also...

My turn signals stopped working. I changed the switch in the steering wheel column and they still don't work....it's not the bulbs because my cautions work and they turn on when i turn my headlights on. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I want to put a ranger header on my 88' N/A, is there a...
